<h1>Creating pop-up tooltips</h1>
<p>A tooltip is pop-up text that is displayed when a user positions the 
 cursor over a document control in MicroStrategy Web. Tooltips are displayed 
 only in the Flash mode of a document.</p>
<p>For example, in the grid report below, a tooltip is displayed when you 
 pass your cursor over a bubble in the graph. In this case, the tooltip 
 lets a document analyst know that he or she is looking at the data bubble 
 for the Electronics product category; it also lists the exact profit margin 
 value for that category. <br>
&nbsp;</p>
<p class="whs1"><img src="images/tooltip_example.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="410px" height="267px" border="0" class="img_whs2"></p>
<p>You can use tooltips to provide extra information, such as the full 
 company name in the tooltip of the company logo. Tooltips are also useful 
 when a document has narrow columns that do not allow for full descriptions 
 of the metrics. You can place that information in tooltips.</p>
<p>You can use tooltips on the following types of controls:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs3">
	
<li class=p><p>Grid/Graphs </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Images </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Lines </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Panel stacks (all panels in the panel stack display 
 the same tooltip) </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Rectangles and rounded rectangles </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Selectors</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Text fields </p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To add a tooltip</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs4">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design 
 </B></span>or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable Mode</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Add one of the controls listed above. For steps to add 
 a control to a document, see 
<a href="Creating_a_document.htm">About creating 
 documents</a>.</p></li>
	
<li style=" color: #000000; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs5">Right-click 
 the control and select<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Properties and 
 Formatting</B></span>. The Properties and Formatting dialog box opens.</p></li>
	
<li style=" color: #000000; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs5">From 
 the left, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>General</B></span>.</p></li>
	
<li style=" color: #000000; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs5">Type 
 the pop-up text in the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Tooltip</B></span> 
 field.</p></li>
	
<li style=" color: #000000; font-weight: normal; " class=p><p class="whs5">Click 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span> to apply the changes and return 
 to the document.</p></li>
